So I'm in my local CGEX and I see this on the discount table  . . . 

 

 

 

For those that have or are familiar with this program, can it open DDS files?  What sorts of uses - as related to texture work - can I expect to do with this particular program?

Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with it's uses for texture work, but I do know that in order to open DDS files, it needs a specific plugin, Which you can get from the NVIDIA site. LINK

No version of PS deals with DDS natively. The nVidia plugin is outdated now. It may not matter in your case, but if you want to be able to handle the newer DX10/11 DDS formats then you'll want the Intel DDS plugin instead - https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-texture-works-plugin

 

I much prefer the way the nVidia plugin works, but it's useless for modern games.
